Leveraging Easy Java Simulation for High School Curriculum

written by
Loo Kang Wee and
Wai Keong MAK

This paper highlights the diverse possibilities in the rich community of educators from the Conceptual Learning of Science (CoLoS) and Open Source Physics (OSP) movement to engage, enable and empower educators and students, to create interactive digital media through computer modeling. This concept revolves around a paradigmatic shift towards participatory learning through immersive computer modeling, as opposed to using technology for information transmission.

This same paper argues for physics educators to form a community of practice to mass customized simulations for advancing physics experiential learning. Loo Kang calls for reforms in classroom practice that aims to address traditional school transmission of 'knowledge' that is not grounded in action, that further leads to inert knowledge (Whitehead, 1929).
